I absoposituvely LOVE wave 5!
Duke's kind of mediocre but a headswap and BLAMMO! New character!
-
Nice, I really want the resolute SE and hopefully that SNAKE armor will make its way here, will army build that forsure.
-
That's the first I've seen of the Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow Arashikage dueling two-pack. Not bad...but it would have been a HELL of a lot better if it was Resolute Storm Shadow and Resolute Snake Eyes. That would have been AWESOME!
-
They all look cool. Not into the Combat Heroes though. Nice photographs - you're a good photographer Stealth Viper. 8)
Cheers,
Ian

...Those are Hasbro stock photography.

Very cool. Can't believe I'm saying this but I really liked the Ripcord figure. It will look good beside Duke.
Now, since they are sending these pictures to a Canadain site does that mean the Target stuff will be hitting Zellers for sure?

We get these from Hasbro USA, the same as all the other sites. We're just part of their distribution for marketing. It by no means implies anything regarding availability here.
Now, we have been told that all exclusives will be MADE AVAILABLE to Canadian retailers - but it's up the the retailers to order them.

So, they send Joe Canuck photos to help promote a product that will only show up in Canada if you hound your local retailer. Something doesn't smell right with that.

Hounding the local retailer won't help. It's the suits in the offices that decide what the chains will get.

I am digging that V2 stylized Storm Shadow.

In a nutshell, it's the suits, yes, based on previous G.I. Joe sales of similar items (one offs or special runs or wide releases). But, you missed the point. Hasbro sent these photos to you to post and start a buzz. They want that buzz to reach the retailer who will convey how many inquiries they've had for these items that may or may not be available in Canada. They'll monitor boards like this or other sites where bloggers will talk up the products. That doesn't smell right to me at all.
Hasbro are no dummies. They don't want fans of the line to call Buyers or Marketing Directors up in head office. They want to make us hungry for the product; create the need. So, I say, spend some dollars on advertising. Put their money where their toy is. And, yes, I know they will spend millions on advertising the line, I mean they should spend more.
Cheers,
Ian
